And one of the company saide vnto him, Master, speake to my brother, that he diuide the inheritance with me.

And he said vnto him, Man, who made mee a iudge, or a diuider ouer you?

And he said vnto them, Take heed and beware of couetousnes: for a mans life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

And he spake a parable vnto them, saying, The ground of a certaine rich man brought foorth plentifully.

And he thought within himselfe, saying, What shall I doe, because I haue no roome where to bestow my fruits?

And he said, This will I doe, I will pull downe my barnes, and build greater, and there will I bestow all my fruits, and my goods.

And I will say to my soule, Soule, thou hast much goods layd vp for many yeeres, take thine ease, eate, drinke, and be merry.

But God said vnto him, Thou foole, this night thy soule shal be required of thee: then whose shal those things be which thou hast prouided?

So is he that laieth vp treasure for himselfe, and is not rich towards God.
